to be honest i was thinking the same thing , its a good job gordon brown wasnt pm during ww2 teh battle of the somme alone woulda kept him busy till the day he died

gordon brown took time out to write a letter and despite me not particularly liking what his party has allowed to happen to our country i think it was pretty decent of him to send a letter regardless of how poor it was

gordon brown gets a lot of personal hate targeted at him all stirred up by newpapers with adjendas when infact the crap that led to the mess were in was started by tony blair who basically did what he liked and got rid of anyone that disagreed with him to ensure he got what he wanted so by the time gordon took over he was basicaly taking charge of a sinking ship


thats the way i see it anyway

As an afterthought - maybe the letter was deliberately misspelt, in order to get publicity for the fact that he sends them.
The effect has been expressions of sympathy for his partial blindness and some people now think he actually cares about casualties.
